Hello, I’m developing my own horror game in unreal engine 4 (Version 4.17) I’m trying to add maps to my packaging settings and this is an error i’m getting: FilenameToLongPackageName failed to convert ‘…/…/…/…/…/…/Users/Owner/Documents/Unreal Projects/SurviveWithoutDying4_17/Intermediate/Build/Win32/SurviveWithoutDying/ThirdPersonBP/Maps/Main_Menu.umap’. Attempt result was ‘…/…/…/…/…/…/Users/Owner/Documents/Unreal Projects/SurviveWithoutDying4_17/Intermediate/Build/Win32/SurviveWithoutDying/ThirdPersonBP/Maps/Main_Menu’, but the path contains illegal characters ‘.’
Is it the characters are to long or the localization wasn’t set up?
since I am facing the same issue and documentation is a bit scarce on this: would you be so kind to give me some hint about how you managed to fix it?
Thank you in advance
I got this error when I was attempting to package only certain maps in project settings. I think it happened because I had recently created a copy of the project to open it in a new version of unreal.
Anyway, I solved the problem by deleting saved and intermediate folders.
Make sure to duplicate your project before you do the above, so you have a backup.
I fixed this by just copying and pasting the intended directory into the “List of maps to include in a packaged build” field, because when you try to input it the normal way, it adds the …\ which unreal can’t read.
Worked for me after that.
